and I will now tell you all and you may right it down that
all my preaching by the Holy Ghost it is revelation. I told the
Brother Joseph that he had given us revelation enough to last
us 20 years when that time is out I can give as good revelation
as their is in the Doctrins & Covenants. "Elder Taylor said
in one of his sermons that if we walk in the light of the Lord
we should have revelations all the time." it is the light that is
within you no man can live his religion without living in
Revelation but I would never tell a revelation to the Church untill
Joseph told it first. Joseph once told me to go to his own house
to attend a meeting with him he said that He would not go without
me. I went and Hiram Preached upon the Bible Book of Morm[on]
& Covenants and said we must take them as our guide alone
he preached vary lengthy untill he nearly wearied the people out
when he closed Joseph told me to get up. I did so I took the Books
and piled them all up on top of Each other. I then said that I
would not give the ashes of a rye straw for all those books for my
salvation without the living oracles I should follow and obey
the living oracles for my salvation instead of any thing Els when
I got through Hyrum got up and made a confession for not
including the living Oracles.

It may be thought strange by the Brethren that I will still fello-
wship Elder Pratt bafter what He has said, but I shall do it. I
amd determined to whip Brother Pratt into it and make him
work in the harvess. Orson Pratt said if I gratifyed my
feelings I had rather go into the canyon than to Preach I
have got to go to Tooele to get wood for my family President Young
said I will give you a mission in Tooleele to preach & send word
to the Bishop to get some men & draw up his wood Brother Pratt
has no busines in the canyon the Lord does not want him there
